because
I
felt
so
embarrassed
,
but
then
I
decided
to
get
up
and
finish
the
race
.
My

and
I
didn

in

Reported speech
When we tell others
what
someone has said,
we
can
quote
their

or
report
them
indirectly (reported speech).
• In direct speech, we give
the
person's exact words:

She
said The film was very

In reported speech, we explain
what
